Chris Finch had a cool answer pregame when asked about Josh Giddey:
“He’s fearless for a young player. Got a lot of game to him. He reminds me a little bit of a combination of a little bit of LaMelo and a little bit of Luka. He just has this command of the ball.” – 6:36 PM

In response to a question on the Pistons doing a better job of taking care of the ball better in recent games, Casey crossed his fingers. “You keep teaching, you keep preaching, and you hope it sinks in. And it does.” – 5:37 PM

Casey said Saddiq Bey is replicating Jerami Grant’s role at power forward, from a scheme standpoint. “I think Saddiq’s been very efficient in what he’s doing and we’re really happy with his growth.” – 5:31 PM

Bucks have dealt with a ton of injuries this year but it’s also wild how easy their schedule has been. Here are their wins vs. .500+ teams (8-6):
Nets (home)
Cavs (home)
Hornets (home)
Lakers (no LeBron)
Nuggets (no Jokic)
Sixers (no Embiid)
Heat (no Jimmy/Bam)
Mavs (no Luka) – 4:49 PM

PJ Washington is back and ready to help the #Hornets against Detroit tonight. While he was out, he noticed something.
“I don’t feel like we have the right mentality right now,” he said, “and that’s why we’ve been losing.”

Kelly Olynyk was recalled from the Motor City Cruise yesterday, per the G League transaction wire. Not sure when he was assigned, but could be a positive sign as he continues working to return from a left knee sprain. – 1:47 PM
